I was looking around to see what gpu is good with the amd fx-6300 as i currently have a old one which is zotac GTX 580 as im currently looking for a good one that would run gta 5 on good fps . And due take in mind i am more of an SLI fan so .. :) [UPDATE] I decided to buy a new cpu and motherboard and gpu :) and not go for sli :) considering the fx-6300 is pure crap

Well the FX 6300 will bottleneck high end cards. I'd personally go with a r9 380x or maybe an r9 390, if your psu can handle the load. If you really want NVIDIA, get a gtx 970, as that is really the max you van go without a bottleneck.

TechNeeQ that is a terrible idea. The CPU WILL bottleneck the gtx 980. The gtx 960 is going to be very close to how fast his gtx 580 was. If he wants an upgrade he should look towards the r9 390 or gtx 970, and if those are to much then he should consider a r9 380x as it is faster than the gtx 960, or getting a used gpu like a used gtx 780 ti or something.

Edit: The CPU will likely only bottleneck the r9 390 a little bit, and I doubt he'll be running anything that will. It would be nice to know what resolution he will be running and what games.
